Following on from this thread: http://forum.woodenboat.com/showthread.php?145097-Some-questions-about-catboat-design She is based on the Cape Cod type catboat, but built in glued lapstrake to save weight in the hull structure. She will have a displacement of 1300kg (2860lb), LOD 5m (16'8"), max beam 2.62m (8'9"). She will have removable inside trim ballast, either sandbags or scrap iron cast in concrete, depending how much space there is in the bilges. I started by drawing some lines

When we retired from full-time cruising and built a house on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay, my wife Dee and I bought a thoroughly dilapidated 1966 Marshall 18 Sanderling catboat for exploring the Bay’s shallow waters.

This morning I was driving to work past the Long Island Maritime Museum and I stopped by to shoot a few pictures. The volunteer crew in the boatshop have recently launched a new Gil Smith catboat replica. Presumably, they're working on the spars. From the look of things they've done a fantastic job. For those of you unfamiliar with Gil Smith, he was a Patchogue, Long Island boatbuilder, active from the 1890's to the 1940's, building hundreds of small catboats and sloops. Mostly racing

I downloaded Deftship last night and played around with it for a couple hours, working on a 20' catboat designed to be narrow enough to trailer, have decent performance without a huge rig, and be relaxing to sail, but not too relaxing. Displacement is 1.474 tons, so she'll be pretty quiet compared to a racing dinghy the same length, prismatic coeficient is .5473, beam at the deck is 8' 6" and beam on the waterline is 7' 5". What do you think?
